Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3904
On the Golden Light Gate, Dou Dewei with a fair complexion lay on the arrow stack and looked down. The rain was pouring down on his body and head, dripping down his pocket, his face became paler and paler.

The original guard of Jinguangmen was Hou Mo Chenlin. After he was promoted to the commander of tens of thousands of troops outside the city, he was replaced by Dou Dewei. Although Fufeng Dou's reputation is not obvious now, not as prominent as when Emperor Gaozu was in power, but the background is quite deep , even if they are not the backbone of Guanlong, they are also connected with each other and have entangled interests with the Guanlong clan.

At this moment, the barracks that used to be full of tents and people shouting and neighing were already in complete disarray. Tens of thousands of horses could not stop the two thousand cavalry, running for their lives in the vast wilderness outside the city like cattle and sheep being chased and expelled by a pack of wolves. The two black torrents continued to intersperse and raid, piercing through the Guanlong army and arriving at the city.

When the two leading generals stopped below the city and looked over the city across the moat, Dou Dewei just looked at him, and felt a murderous aura rushing towards his face, and the two thousand cavalry behind him were even more murderous!The injured leg that was crushed by Fang Jun's beheaded horse began to ache faintly, and cold sweat dripped down his back.

He comes from a noble family, and he is famous for his food. He is destined to succeed the Duke of Shenwu County and become the head of the next generation of the Dou family. His politics, official career, and wealth are all first-class in the world, and his future is bright.However, since Wu Meiniang was young, frivolous and frivolous and had to have her leg broken by Fang Jun, his life seemed to be shrouded by Fang Jun's club, a haze and no light.

When the armored cavalry under the city turned around here and ravaged the collapsed Guanlong army in a surprise attack, and quickly headed for the distance, he was slightly relieved, wondering if the group of killing gods would just retreat, and saw the sight in the distance. In the place, the guards of Youtun came all over the mountains and valleys!

Finished!

Dou Dewei's last sliver of luck was shattered, and the Right Tunwei obviously planned to take advantage of the empty and insufficient troops outside the Golden Light Gate to capture the city gate, and then break into the city.

As for whether the Golden Light Gate can stop the attack from the Right Guards... Dou Dewei didn't even think about it, he dragged his injured leg and limped down the city wall under the guard of his own soldiers.Although he has never seen the attacking method of the Right Tunwei, he has heard it often. Others attack the city by setting up a ladder to fill it up. The city wall was directly blasted into a pile of rubble.

He didn't want to stand on the city and stare at being blown up to the sky, turned into a handful of ashes, even if he didn't die from the blowup, he could still survive being buried in bricks and tiles?

When the guards on the city saw Dou Dewei leaving the city without saying a word, they all looked at each other in blank dismay. Could it be that the new guard wanted to command remotely in the government office under the city?

Someone boldly chased after two parts and asked loudly, "Where does the general want to go?"

Dou Dewei didn't turn his head back: "I'm going to suffer from trauma and pain, and I'm in charge of the government office under the city. You should think about the danger in Guanlong right now, do your best, and don't fear the casualties. "

After saying that, he led his soldiers into the yamen office not far from the city, making up his mind to stay away from the battlefield, and withdraw immediately if the situation was not good.

As for his new chief general, who squats far away in the government office but does not come to the front line in person, whether it will lead to a situation where the general does not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the general, which will greatly reduce the command efficiency and give the enemy an opportunity, he does not care at all of.

I am delicate and expensive, but I am a first-class nobleman, so I can't fight to the death with these poodle-like soldiers, can I?
Besides, there is no city in the world that the Right Guards cannot attack, and I didn't abandon the city immediately to escape, so my courage is invincible, okay...

I am a lineage of Empress Taimu, a serious descendant, and compared with the elder Sun's family, who is much more solid, even if the mutiny fails completely, who would dare to do anything to him?When the crown prince came to the throne, the position of the Dou family would still be as stable as Mount Tai. If they were able to stand up to the sky, they would hold the title of Duke of Shenwu County without entering the center and not holding real power. That would be better than losing their lives now...

So he didn't care whether the Golden Light Gate could be held or not, and he was able to hold on until the moment the city was broken before withdrawing, which is already considered courageous and shouldering a heavy responsibility, right?

Whoever refuses to accept it will come and fight You Tunwei. If he really wins, then naturally he can say anything about me, but if he doesn't have the confidence, why should he accuse me?
……

The guards of Youtun naturally didn't know that their massacre outside the city not only killed tens of thousands of Guanlong troops to pile up corpses like mountains, blood flowed into rivers, tens of thousands of people were routed into an army, and even the defenders on the city had been killed. Killed two battles, even the main general avoided fighting, waiting to escape at any time.

Wang Fangyi led the armored cavalry to chase Hou Mo and Chen Lin's troops to the east, so as not to be killed by his carbine and destroy the progress of the siege. Gao Kan stood on his horse and commanded the infantry who arrived later to attack the city.

Hundreds of people from the supply battalion responsible for building the pontoon bridge swarmed up. No one was carrying a plank. When they came to the moat, they jumped down without hesitation, and then lifted the plank to float on the water. These planks were connected by screws, and several pontoon bridges were soon built on the moat. The soldiers behind carried the ladders and quickly crossed the moat from the pontoon bridges, came under the city wall, and erected the ladders against the arrows and stones on the city.

As soon as the ladder was set up, the soldiers behind them held the horizontal knife in their mouths, jumped onto the ladder vigorously, and quickly climbed up.

At the same time, musketeers and crossbowmen arrived at the city, amidst the rumbling of drums, rows of muskets and arrows shot at the top of the city, suppressing the defenders with firepower.

The siege soldiers climbed along the ladder, with rolling logs, rocks and arrows raining down on their heads. Some soldiers continued to climb halfway screaming and falling down, while the soldiers behind them continued to climb without saying a word.

The defenders showed their figures from the arrow stacks, and swung their knives to cut down the guards from the right station who had climbed to the height of the arrow stacks. At the same time, lead bullets and arrows shot from below the city hit their bodies one after another, screaming miserably or falling to the bottom of the city. Or there were casualties on the spot, and the violent firepower made the defenders on the city dare not show their faces.

The general is the courage of the soldiers. A general who is brave enough to win the three armies can often maximize the combat power of the army under his command. If he can take the lead, he will be united and have high morale. Many battles where the weak defeat the strong and the few defeat the crowd are obtained in this way. The ultimate victory.

On the contrary, "a raging nest", if the main general is timid and afraid of fighting, who can expect the soldiers under his command to be brave and not afraid of death?

You Tunwei not only wanted to capture Jinguangmen, but also as quickly as possible, so there was no temptation, and they went all out to launch a fierce attack as soon as they came up, which made the defenders on the city stunned and fearful.

"Where's General Dou?"

"Sit in command in the duty room below the city..."

"Sit in town! He's just afraid of death!"

"His leg was broken by Fang Er back then, how can he not be afraid of Fang Er's army now?"

"Mother! He ran to check the room when he was afraid, and ran away when he saw something bad happened. We are so scared that we have to stay here?"

There were complaints on the top of the city. As the suppressing firepower of the right guards became more and more fierce, more and more soldiers attacked the top of the city. This resentment gradually turned into fear of war. The original fear was magnified countless times, and the morale became stronger. getting depressed.

Dou Dewei stood in the value room, pacing back and forth, pushing the door from time to time to look at the tower not far away, muttering in his mouth: "What's wrong, where is the gunpowder? Why don't you plant gunpowder to blow down the city wall and swarm in instead? A hard attack that doesn't count casualties?"

Since the advent of gunpowder, it has been used by Youtunwei in various unimaginable ways on the battlefield, especially its incomparable power is invincible in siege warfare, which has made Zhengshitang discuss it more than once in all states and counties in the world. Is it still necessary to continue to spend huge sums of money on strengthening and repairing the city?Because even the strongest city can't stop the gunpowder bombardment, as long as the amount of gunpowder is increased indefinitely, even a rock can be blown to pieces, and the defensive function of the city wall is almost completely useless...

Dou Dewei slapped his thigh violently, and cheered up: "Mother! The foundry was destroyed, and the gunpowder production workshop in Youtunwei was razed to the ground. No matter how much gunpowder was stored in the army, it was the Hexi and the Western Regions that were brought down. , How much is left? This is because the gunpowder has run out!"

If there is no big killer such as gunpowder, Jinguangmen may not be unable to defend it!
Even if you can't hold it, you just need to delay the time, and Yanshoufang will definitely mobilize heavy troops to come. You only need to line up the city densely with soldiers.

In order to be sure, Dou Dewei waited for a while, and when the fighting sound on the top of the city became more intense, he knew that his guess was right.

Immediately, his waist straightened, his confidence was full, and he felt that he could do it again!
